> web proxy not configured for https
> ----------------------------------
>
> Key: MJAVADOC-565
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MJAVADOC-565
> Project: Maven Javadoc Plugin
> Issue Type: Bug
> Affects Versions: 3.0.1
> Reporter: Bill Shannon
> Priority: Major
>
> There seems to be some disagreement about how to configure web proxy servers.
> Maven seems to think that the "protocol" element specifies the protocol to
> use when talking to the web proxy server, and thus allows only one proxy to
> be configured in settings.xml. (Or rather, only the first configured proxy
> is used.) That's not the way proxy servers work.
> The JDK configures web proxy servers based on the protocol that's being
> proxied.
> For example, when using a <link> to access the JDK javadocs, https is needed.
> The maven-javadoc-plugin invokes the external javadoc command with these
> arguments:
> {{-J-Dhttp.proxySet=true -J-Dhttp.proxyHost=<proxy-host>
> -J-Dhttp.proxyPort=<proxy-port>}}
> That only configures the proxy for the http protocol, not the https protocol,
> and thus the linked resource can not be accessed. To configure the proxy to
> be used for the https protocol, the following arguments are needed:
> {{-J-Dhttps.proxySet=true -J-Dhttps.proxyHost=<proxy-host>
> -J-Dhttps.proxyPort=<proxy-port>}}
